Faces of Loss, Faces of Hope's Monthly Writing Challenge for October is "Remembering Our Babies". Since October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month FOL,FOH wants to know how we as parents remember our baby(ies) during this extra special month.
I can't say that I think of my daughter more this month than any other months. She's kind of constantly in my thoughts and with me. I do spread awareness more often during the month of October though. I post pregnancy loss info and statistics on my status on Facebook. I wear pink and blue in my hair so people will ask questions. I light a special candle in my home. I feel more empowered to talk about pregnancy and infant loss during the month of October because it is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. I post the picture in the previous post on Facebook often. Basically I try to do little things to spread awareness. I've found that with PAIL awareness it's the little things that do the most good.
